Knowlesy, you made an interesting comment about the second seat being wasted for some teams in another thread.
I can't help but feel that by virtue of the tires/rules the second seat is being wasted by all the q3 teams. Merc took the unusual step of stacking their stop and Ferrari should have done the same. You do your best in Q3 and start on the used softs with a full fuel load and when the tires drop of suddenly after six laps taking the extra lap, as Massa did, and your race gets immediately compromised. |
